Trio of Singapore vs. Malaysia fights added to October's ONE FC 11

ONE FC’s October event has grown with the addition of three fights featuring fighters from Singapore against opponents from Malaysia.

Sherilyn Lim (0-0) meets Ann Osman (0-0) in a women’s bantamweight bout, Juan Wen Jie (2-0) takes on Alex Lim (1-2) at welterweight and Stephen Langdown (0-0) fights Mark Marcellinus (0-0) at bantamweight.

“ONE FC 11: Total Domination” takes place Oct. 18 at Singapore Indoor Stadium in Kallang, Singapore. It streams as an online pay-per-view in North America.

Sherilyn Lim had been booked for the show, but awaiting an opponent. The muay Thai standout from Singapore will be fighting in front of her home country against Osman, who will become the first Malaysian female fighter to compete under the ONE FC banner.

Jie is unbeaten so far in his young MMA career. The former “Singapore Manhunt” winner in 2011 has a background in muay Thai. He was originally booked to fight at ONE FC 3, but had to pull out with an injury and makes a long-awaited debut with the promotion next month. Alex Lim, from Malayasia, fought three times this past December, going 1-2.

Langdown, a fitness blogger and personal trainer, will dive into the MMA world against Malaysia’s Marcellinus, also a trainer making the move to full-fledged MMA competition.

“In each city we go to, MMA fans are eager to rally behind their local heroes and support their nation’s warriors,” ONE FC CEO Victor Cui stated. “This time, Singaporean MMA fans will have plenty to cheer about as the age-old rivalry between Singapore and Malaysia is reignited …”
